Woman furious after family charged her £200 for Christmas dinner and staying over

Offering to take on the role of hosting Christmas Day often involves a large number of family members squeezing into your home to celebrate the festivities together.

She continued: "My husband wants to pay it to shut her up. I want to ask her to itemise it and prepare an invoice in return for the hours I spent cooking Christmas dinner," she fumed.
